When looking to join materials permanently, there are several methods to consider, each with their own advantages. So why choose steel brazing? Let the sparks fly!
Economical
Brazing can be used in complex assemblies to save both time and resources. Instead of having to design and cast molds, existing pieces can be joined as they are and reduces machining off base material. In addition, this method can be done in bulk via furnace.
Reduce Joint Stress
With fusion welding, a lot of stress tends to be concentrated in one area. This can shorten the service life of the equipment. The lower heat and wide distribution of steel brazing reduces that stress and lengthens the overall life of the assembly. Stress from use should also be taken into account when looking to evenly distribute stress points.
Maintain Precision
Despite assumptions, processes involving brazing do not, in any large part, distort the dimensions of the original material. This all relies on the heating and cooling rates. In fact, a major advantage of furnace brazing is adhering closely to the specified dimensions throughout the process.
Brazing offers many unique aspects, setting it apart from other heat joining methods. Whether for commercial or personal use, there are many ways to make this specific method work for you.
